Publisher's Synopsis
ASP.Net is part of the whole .Net framework, built on top of the Common Language Runtime - a rich and flexible architecture, designed not just to cater for the needs of developers today, but to allow for the long future we have ahead of us. Unlike previous updates of ASP, ASP.Net is very much more than just an upgrade of existing technology - it's the gateway to a whole new era of web development.;This book is designed as a desktop companion for anyone developing ASP.Net applications. Contained in this book is a reference to all the ASP.Net-specific namespaces, plus some useful namespaces that are needed from time to time while developing with ASP.Net, as well as plenty of example code, and overviews of the technologies that you're likely to encounter as you develop ASP.Net applications.;This book covers and includes: the main ASP.Net namespaces and the controls that are used in ASP.Net development; an overview of some of the other aspects of ASP.Net including configuration, caching, and security; an overview of some of the other .Net namespaces that are used regularly in ASP.Net development; web services - includes a discussion of the key concepts, as well as referencing the namespaces; overviews of both ADO.Net and XML usage within .Net to give you enough information to understand how they fit into the puzzle, along with plenty of sample code to see them in action; and how we can use the concepts learnt throughout the book by illustrating them with some broad examples.
